Am I the only one who noticed that there aren't any cool jelly bean transitions from the stock rom on Clean Rom 4.5? It's not a big deal, but I still would like to have those effects. Anybody know of a fix or something?

If you search "Jelly Bean Animations on my SGS3" on youtube there's a 31 second video of what I'm talking about. The animation I'm talking about should happen at about 0:08. (Sorry can't post link)

So launcher animations... try out Nova... it gives you some options like JB and ICS. Also, it looked like CM on that video. Up to you if it's that important to you to try out CM. Before that though, try Nova... the only thing I lose when I'm on Nova is the SPen app pop up when I unsheath the spen.

It's not the launcher, I have Apex and selected jelly bean animations. I'm pretty sure launchers only change when you open apps, not in-app animations.
Nobody?
Anybody...?

Hi all,
How many of you here are using Apex Launcher/Pro on your HOX?
How do you find it? I like Sense but I'm thinking of fiddling with a different launcher.
Does Apex LAuncher allow Landscape Home Screens?
If I don't like it I can just uninstall it right? Also I'm guessing I don't need to be r00ted to use the launcher...
Thanks all,
T-L-H

Thanks for that, I've installed it, seems okay...
Still no Landscape though, I'm guessing that's something to do with the rosie?

It does have landscape support - you have to go: Apex Settings - Behaviour Settings - Screen Orientation - Auto-rotate.

How exactly does this work then? Does it take over the sense totally? IE... When I turn my phone on I am booted in to this and when I lock it etc.. etc.. or do I have to open it each time I want to use it?
Sorry to sound a little dumb on this but I am a complete newby to android.

You can choose a default launcher to choose from. I've just chosen Apex Launcher... I still have the standard lockring on my lockscreen...
You can reset the default launcher in Apex Launcher settings. I'm still kinda new to this myself so I'm not too sure on all the in's-and-out's.

Okay so when you turn the phone on its the standard lockscreen, you move that and it opens directly into Apex Launcher as if Sense never existed? Sounds like something fun to mess around with.
I'm guessing it can't do any damage to the phone or the standard OS etc... then?

That's correct, it's all the same... just a different launcher.
The stock launcher is all intact, Apex doesn't overwrite anything, it's just an App really.

All makes perfect sense...
and +1 to Apex Launcher. I tried them all this past week and I just liked Apex better. I am sure they all do similar things, with a couple of things different. I purchased the Pro version of Apex.
Not sure if I can make the lock screen like my Apex home screen. I am still learning (time dependant), do very much like it though. Even my iPhone work mates seem impressed
I have been using Apex since Friday. I liked it so much I ended up paying for it.
Im not sure how many more features were enabled but I thought it would be the least I could do.
Main reason for switching. Laggy Home screen swithching in sense.
I have widgets on every screen now and its flawless!
Apex Launcher Pro consumes a lot of battery on my HOX 1.28
I back to Sense 4 and prefer Nova Launcher

When playing with various launchers, your battery may drain very fast because of the widgets you have running on the screens of the inactive launcher.
If you try Apex, it's a good idea to remove all widgets from your Sense screens first.

I switch off, all the widgets from Sense4 before try Apex
And reboot the terminal.
apex user here also. loving it. it's just smooth and full of features.
That's good to know, I'll remove my widgets from my Sense 4.0 Launcher and then boot back into Apex Launcher.
I'm also running GO Locker, GO Launcher EX with the ICS GO Locker Lock ring...
Sometimes when I power the screen back on I get the Sense 4.0 lock ring, so I unlock to homescreen then the ICS GO Locker ring will appear, so I have to unlock that one too! So I'm unlocking with two rings wtf?
I use Apex too and also bought the Pro version in supprot of the devs coz I liked it so much. I'm not even sure what the advantages are for Pro version. Hehehehe...
Different launcher different memory consumption. Which launcher out there consumes the less battery? Any ideas?

TW? /me pukes, slow, bloated and ugly imho
Zeam if you want low resource usage
Apex and my no1 at this time.
Usually i would agree, but the TW on the S3....is close to greatness i have ever seen from samsung
and im tired of ALL launchers, Go launcher is crap and is a battery hog. Adw Luancher ex is ok(smooth) but still same transitions and icon crap, APex Blah, Nova Blah, Trabuche BLah whats the difference again....lol. TSF shell......now this is a launcher that is SUPER DUPER smooth, and acutally makes the phone feel different in the way you set things up and locate them( probably my favorite After market Launcher)
then we have TW, the features are GREAT, the settings are cool, and yes it is smooth....once on a custom Stockish Rom. maybe just be me, but i actually think TW out shined most lauchers with this version.
just my OP though

you must be off your rocker mate there is absolutely nothing wrong with Touchwiz in the slightest, it''s blazing fast and looks the business, if i was to shoot a video of me using my phone now and anyone had the audacity to come back and say anything like you have said i would recommend they seek help.

The latest Touchwiz Nature UI on the S3 is pure awesome!
Samsung did an amazing job! They are definitely on the right track.
I never liked Touchwiz on the S2. Now that was bland and boring.
does TW allow custom icons and the use of beautiful widets and apps lke that?
nova launcher....
got both paid nova and apex...still prefer nova
Nova, purely for the in-App Drawer folder
Thanks for sharing
TW launcher is great, but it has one big bug. If you put two or more app icons that have long names (try Go SMS Pro next to Chrome Beta), you'll see the launcher starts to lag noticeably while shifting between homescreens and scrolling through scrollable widgets. Once you remove one of the two, the lag disappears. It's weird. I tried clearing data and everything and it's still there.
That being said, the only thing I miss about the TW launcher is the app drawer animation. Get Nova launcher, make the drawer background semi-clear. Then check the option to hide the dock divider. BAM! You have a lag-free version of the TouchWiz launcher.

Features? What features? It lacks features.... It looks way better than previous TW launchers and everything but it doesn't do anything special beyond that.
There are no gesture shortcuts, , no grouping/tabs/advanced folders like Nova has, no grid scaling options, no widget overlay options...

Anyone can provide the Jelly Bean theme for CM7?
I'm limited by the location limitation from Google account...
Anyone can post it to XDA or your own online drive?
Hey,
I have noticed a bit of stutter sometimes when I close or open the touchwiz app drawer..
It stutters the first time you open/close the app drawer, but after that it is smooth for sometime. But the issue is still present if you open the drawer again at a later time.
Also in the settings menu, scrolling at first, there is a stutter but then it becomes smooth again..
Anyone know if this can be fixed?
Thanks.
ROM?
Kernel?
Any mods?
Need more details for a solution

Try changing the transition and animation speeds.

Problem with ICS is that it doesn't have project butter built in which means a lot of the problems Google fixed in Jelly Bean as far as animations and transitions are still present. If you want a smoother experience on TouchWiz I highly suggest updating to Jelly Bean. Otherwise find a ICS AOSP rom and it'll run faster.
is it possible to do that !? i saw some guy on youtube using ICS touchwiz launcher and the ripple effect is so awesome like in homescreen when you scroll you know its like u move it on water its a lovely effect , id love to have touchwiz on my JB CM10 with that effect.. is it possible ..?!?

OBVIOUSLY you didn't read the OP thread title, he wanted to have that effect on his homescreen using TW launcher, so I suggested the easiest way to achieve that. Now, if he had asked how to include the effect on his lockscreen, the answer would've been different. Thank you.
